From rumors floating around it sounds like the Little Rock will be spending the Winter in Montreal after having problems after departing Buffalo. This has to be a new record, at least the last one built on the Lakes almost made it to Norfolk before breaking down! This has to be one of the biggest …

[image] Alan_Newport: Time and again they do the best they can with the resources they’re given If the navee can’t or won’t train them, at least stop giving them access to hammers and damage control plugs.

If you are referring to the Fitz and JSM, where any of those ships damaged to the extent that they were in any danger of sinking or capsizing? Provided watertight doors and hatches were closed, that is. If heroism and “proficiency in damage control” is limited to the ability to close doors, I agree…

There should be some entertainment value to reading the reports about the Port Colborne and Montreal episodes when somoeone files a FOIA request. Of course given our new domestic situation FOIA may soon be a thing of the past. It’s not patriotic to ask too many questions about our (insert string of…
